Bella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Hunn | Født 2017 | Passer med store barn | Passer ikke med andre dyr Bella en skikkelig kosepus som elsker oppmerksomhet og nærhet. Hun ønsker seg et godt hjem hvor hun får være familiens eneste firbente venn. I 2019 fikk vi melding om at noen hadde funnet en kattemor med fem nyfødte unger ute i sjåen. Der hadde den høygravide katten funnet det beste stedet å føde – i en barnevogn med en varm og god voksipose. Den lille familien fikk en trygg havn på kattehuset i Alta. Her vokste ungene opp og både de og Bella fikk etter hvert nye hjem. Våren 2026 ble livet til Bella snudd opp-ned. Da mistet hun hjemmet hun hadde hatt gjennom de siste seks årene, og hun kom tilbake til kattehuset. Nå var hun blitt en nesten ti år gammel dame som trengte en ny start i livet. Bella er ikke blitt noe gladere i andre katter med årene, og vet å sette seg i respekt hos dem. Mennesker liker Bella derimot godt. Hun skravler i vei, og elsker oppmerksomhet, kos og nærhet. Som dere skjønner er kattehuset ikke det optimale stedet å bo for Bella, verken på den ene eller andre måte.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark in Alta.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇴Adopting from Norway

Norwegian rescues require thorough background checks. Animals leave with a Nordic pet passport and full vetting. Norway is outside the EU so import rules differ slightly — TRACES applies.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bella already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bella isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Finnmark early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NO). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
